I Am Crying Right Now

My Best Friend and I fought today and I feel so bad that I can't stop myself from crying. I know that she just wants me to open up to her and tell my problems to her but I can't. I feel that I will be just adding up to her problems so that is why I am keeping it up for myself. I don't want her to worry about me because I know that she also has many problems to think about. But in the end I still hurt her and now she's mad at me. This is the second time I fought with her. She had been my best friend for five years now.

My definition of a "best friend" is that she is the ONE person I can share my woes and happy moments with, someone who will listen to my story and not judge me. Who can you trust if not your best friend? I don't buy that you don't share because you don't want to burden her but just because you share something unpleasant with her it does not mean she will take your problems on to herself. It's about trust

@Fernie Well we were that in the past but recently there had been many things that happened that made it this way.

@Leafkiss then you have to heal it

@Fernie I want to but she shut me out right now.

Good friends don't only need you to listen. They need to know you'll come to them when you need somebody. If it doesn't work both ways it's not really a friendship, it's more of a counselor/patient thing.

Sometimes it helps to tell your worries to somebody who's got their own troubles - it helps you know you're not a hopeless case.

If you're too proud to share your concerns with a good friend, maybe there's something else going on?

@Leafkiss She'll get glad again. Just keep telling her you don't know what you'd do without her.

Okay. Thank you so much.

@Leafkiss You're welcome. See how easy it is?

Best friends relationships will have fights. But I wonder if you would think her telling you one of her problems would burden you?

I'm sorry :( . Do you want to message me about it? Maybe talking to a friend will help you feel better.

Did you tell her you don't want to add to her problems?

Leafkiss · 26-30, F

@SW-User Yes and she told me that I am not being a true friend at all for not telling.

If you trust her then confide in her.

Maybe you open up to her
